غلطة شائعة:
Learners sometimes confuse "fatal" with "fetal" (about babies before birth); they are completely different words. Another mistake is using "fatal" for non-serious things, like *"a fatal headache"* or *"a fatal cold"* when no one dies; use "bad" or "serious" instead. Also, remember that "fatal" normally describes the injury/illness/accident, not the person: say "a fatal injury" or "a fatal accident", not *"he is fatal"*.
